There are 2 floors for dining and drinking. The architecture outside and the decor inside including the bathroom gives lets say "Speak Easy" vibe from the roaring 20s. The hostest and our server were both very nice and attentive. Thanks to them and to Bankhead for providing them. I had the Mediterranean Chicken and a BrewDaddy Ultra Lite beer. The chicken breast was tender and delightful. The sauce along with the cheese and fresh herbs covering it gives that Mediterranean flavor. There was also a little hummus on the side. The mashed potatoes were soft and creamy. Again, these were quite delicious. The broccoli spears were I think roasted. Put all 3 together and you get an excellent tasty meal. My beer as in the name, was very lite and kind of a Mich Ultra and Bud Lite blend. So kind of like drinking water. I also tried the Low Beams and the Wit Me One More Time. I didn't particularly like either one of them but I would get the Wit Me One More Time again as the name implies. Anyhows, it was a good time and an enjoyable meal! Thank you Bankhead!

Twisted Root is a classic burger joint, and I like this location. Good atmosphere, good service,…read moreand I've been eating here for years. Which is why I have to say it: I miss the homemade root beer. I mean, isn't that the namesake? Maybe not everyone loves root beer as much as I do, but those flavor combos were out of this world. I also miss the sweet potato chips with peanut butter. Management, if you're reading this, bring these things back! OK, gripes aside. The food is good. I normally go for the chicken sandwich, but the burgers are juicy, greasy, and delicious. I really haven't had a bad sandwich here. I hope they never take the pickles away. That's one of the few edges they have left. Though I'll say the last few times I went, the rinds were pretty chewy. The watermelon tea is great, really refreshing. Service is great too. The staff seem genuinely happy to be there and always eager to help. I also love that they have an outdoor area, which is usually too hot to use, but some evenings it's perfect.

Parking was easy--there's a public lot behind the restaurant, plus a few spots out front and along the side of the building. It wasn't very busy when I arrived, which made for a relaxed visit. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Triston took my order and did a great job, and another employee (I didn't catch his name) walked me through the menu and offered suggestions, which I appreciated. I kept it simple and ordered the "All American" burger with a side house salad. My food came out quickly and was nice and hot. I also liked that they had a variety of housemade and regular condiments available, plus a pickle bar in the corner--which is a fun touch. The side salad was anything but basic. It was fresh, colorful, and vibrant--definitely a win if you're a visual eater like me. The balsamic vinaigrette paired well with it too. As for the burger, it was solid. I liked that they serve the veggie toppings on the side so you can customize it exactly how you want. Just a heads up: burgers are cooked medium by default unless you specify otherwise. Overall, everything tasted great, but the portion was pretty filling--I only made it through about half of my burger. Prices were reasonable as well: $11.50 for my burger and $4.50 for my side salad. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

A relaxed atmosphere outside, we enjoyed the view. Our server was quick to greet us and bring us menus (though they DO have a QR menu available on every table). I asked about the beers on draft, and ordered one that was suggested (and was happy with it). We frequent this establishment, so knew what we wanted! The Brad Sham and the Bodacious Burger! We added some goat chips too! Of note, they have a rotating burger battle that is always fun to see, and try. We didn't get one this time, but am always up to try one. It makes each month an adventure in burgers! I love this place, and if you like burgers, beyond the fast food style, you will also love this place.

This was my first time here, and we had actually spied the current Burger Battle online before we arrived. It was a tough call, but Hatch chile season only comes around once a year, so we went with the "Hatch Me If You Can" burger with chiles, queso and tortilla chips. DELISH. But the real star of the show was the Cobb salad. It was loaded with goodies -- goat cheese, bacon, avocado and more -- but the absolute BEST part was the tempura battered jalapeños. WOOO-EEE. Those things were tremendous! And hot tip: there's a happy hour with $6 sangrias (I think they're called Rattlesnakes?). Whatever they're called, they were YUM. And yum again. A couple of less-great notes: the bathroom was kind of annoying. TP was out in every stall, and ladies, can we all agree that if you have to scoot back over the toilet in order to shut the stall door, the stall is too small? There is plenty of room in the bathroom, so that was a frustrating trip to the loo. Another hot tip: get the sweet potato fries! They seem to be less frequently ordered, which means you're more likely to get them hot. We were initially delivered someone else's order, and before I realized it, I did have one of their (cold) fries. Overall, a really tasty meal with some standout items. I'd definitely come back -- especially for that Cobb salad and those jalapeños!

They lost, but my overall experience was outstanding. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Nothing compares to the atmosphere when a bar has all TVs with game on, high stakes, tons of hyped fans, and good food and drink. It was a great time and Barrel and Bones did a great job packing the place. It's a fun atmosphere with a big bar and the only thing that was bad was the Mavs lost. 1 Star. Service - I sat at the bar, and the bartender, Damien, remembered me from a previous visit. I was really impressed by his memory, but more impressed by how well he managed the bar. He was swift, accurate, friendly, and even made another drink for a patron whose drink was mistakenly taken away. 1 Star. Food - If you follow Barrel & Bones on social media, you'll see their specials. On Monday the appetizers and brisket burger are half price. I started with the Queso Blanco, which was served with warm tortilla chips. The queso was nice and creamy and the middle had chunks of flavorful, smoky brisket. The brisket burger was a very nice surprise. First, this thing is huge. Super juicy and on half price Mondays, it's also a great value. The patty was a little bland, but that was okay because had a tangy spread that added flavor. As a bonus, the fries were excellent. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and do good I ate every single one. Because I was saving money, I ordered the bread pudding for dessert. It was just 'meh'. But the rest of my meal was great and a nice value. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Now that I know they have daily specials, Barrel & Bones will make it into my monthly rotation. The service and food are great, the atmosphere is fun, and it's near my 'hood. Next time I hope the Mavs win. 1 Star.

Crab King Seafood & Burger never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I always get the Special 7, and it's absolutely amazing every single time! The portions are generous, the seafood is seasoned just right, and I even take more to go so I can enjoy it later. Melissa was incredible--super attentive, friendly, and helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed and provided top-notch service. It's always a pleasure coming here, and I love bringing my friends so they can enjoy it just as much as I do. If you're looking for delicious seafood, great service, and a place that keeps you coming back for more, this is it! Highly recommend! read more

My biggest gripe is the lack of a traditional seafood boil spread. No eggs, no potatoes (or maybe it's corn?), no hushpuppies, and they only offer head-on shrimp, etc. The wings took -- no exaggeration -- about 45 minutes for a count of six on a moderately busy day. There's also no hand-washing sink or station like most seafood boil spots have, which just feels odd. Overall, it doesn't give "seafood restaurant," it gives Tex-Mex mariscos. Very limited non-alcoholic drink options too. If you're here for the shrimp/crab only, great. Otherwise, there are better options.

Since this is my first time, I kind of wanted to play it safe and try their wings. I got the garlic wings and let me tell you this picture doesn't know justice. One thing I will say about the garlic wings here, is that they are going to be a little bit oily but that's to be expected because it's garlic. You can definitely tell that the chicken was brined prior to being cooked and the garlic just adds that extra touch that turns these wings to a 10 out of 10. The french fries were good but you could definitely tell that they share the same grief with maybe some type of tilapia or some type of fish but I wasn't even worried about that because the taste of the wings were excellent! If you're in Carrollton Texas and you want to try some good wings, I would highly suggest trying this place. They have lots of dishes that showcase Spanish heritage to its fullest!

The interactions have always felt pretty cut-and-dry--don't expect many smiles here. I've tried the wings with fried rice, catfish and fries, and a few other items. The wings have good flavor, but they're a little too small and crispy for my personal preference. Also, if you're watching your sodium intake, be prepared to request light or no seasoning on your fries and wings. The seasoning blend definitely brings the salt! They do have a small dine-in area, which I've experienced, but I personally prefer takeout from this spot. One thing I'd love to see added is a fresh vegetable option or two. With so much of the menu being fried, a refreshing side would help create a better balance. Not everything needs to be deep-fried! Overall, the food is decent, but a few tweaks to the menu and customer experience would make a big difference.
